If the US was to take an isolationist policy 100 years ago, then there is a good chance that WW2 would have been won by the Axis. The Allied forces likely would have put up a good fight, but I'm not sure they would have emerged victorious against the combined Axis forces. The war in the Pacific would have raged on much longer, and without nuclear weapons, there would have been an extreme loss of life invading Japan. At the very least, WW2 would have lasted much much longer than it did. Depending on the outcome, plenty of countries might currently be speaking German and debating if they should tear down 80-year-old statues of Hitler.

The only people who believe this drivel are those who have only learned about WWII via Hollywood and YT videos. Go listen to an actual historian and you will not hear this fantasy. They will tell you that Germany had one foot in the grave by the time the US joined the Western front. The only ounce of truth in this statement is that the Pacific theatre would have gone on longer.

Edit: I didn't touch on this but should have...the whole idea that a nuclear attack on Japan was necessary or even justified in any way is not only incorrect but is a racist, genocidal excuse for not one, but TWO of the most horrific acts in our entire history. You should be ashamed for propagating this tired lie.

Lol, only if you learned history from Hollywood.

Did they also go into mass atrocities committed and initiated by the US? If you go around lighting fires and then come back around to put them out after donning an official uniform, should others consider you a fire fighter or an arsonist?

Is there a single instance covered that wasn't a situation the US directly and purposely had a hand in creating?

Mine auto-tweets which number and the health profile of what I did and even switches between accounts based upon who is using it. Biometric scanning and mass data collection is used to match you with the correct account. If you don't have one, it registers new users without an account. Obviously filters out those under 13 as they don't meet the terms of service.

When you flush it also plays a recording of a random tweet from our Lord and Savior Elon's account in his voice.

Edit: Can't wait for my Cyber Truck to arrive so I can connect it and activate the feature where it honks my truck's horn every time I flush.

To collect your wet, smelly, non-degradable rags? No thanks, I'll keep the bidet.

No. If you are using a decent bidet and using it correctly, you do not need to wipe. At most you'll need to dab dry, but some models have blow driers so this isn't necessary. The water is the friction you need unless your bidet has weak pressure or the stream is too dispersed.

Soap would always be better, but water alone is vastly superior and a complete replacement for wiping so long as something isn't wrong with the setup.

Yeah, same. I installed UBlock Origin on my Firefox browser for free and gotta say that enjoying YouTube and YT Music Ad-Free is the way to do it!

It's just the worst one.

I prefer to chug my oil, crude.

Shhh! Vegan is an option, not a mandate!

Confirmed, oil is vegan.

In my US chemistry undergrad program, we were required to memorize ~40 elements that were frequently used. We had reference material available to us in the test packets, but the test time given was so low that if you hadn't memorized those elements, you didn't have time to finish the test.

Our general chemistry class was one of the hardest classes you could take and much of the grading seemed unfair. Very minor mistakes that could propagate throughout your calculations would lose full points. There was never enough time for exams: you were expected to be very sure of how to run your calculations, there wasn't extra time for you to be unsure or have to redo an entire question because you messed up. It truly sucked.

That said, it was very effective at graduating competent chemists. I didn't trust any of the biologists, nurses, pharmacists, etc. to do even basic unit conversions unless they took that class. You can often tell well into someone's professional career if they went through such a rigorous training program because many of the calculations and principles we learned in this class are ones we use daily. I run into PhDs in biology fields who don't know the difference between molar and molarity, ones who are inconsistent at converting masses to mols, etc.

It's embarrassing to reach that point in your career and lack these basic skills. I'll hear, "yeah, but they aren't chemists, so it's not so important that they know these things." If that's so, then why do they need to do it as part of their job? Skills like these are agnostic to degrees and positions, it's like learning basic arithmetic for most scientists.

I fucking hated that class and the professor for putting us through that, but that faded quickly with time. He made the rest of our education easier and prepared us well for the work that was ahead.

Agreed. The general trend of switching to natural gas has led to the release of a lot of methane, which is notorious for leaking during drilling, transport, and storage.

This is much worse than carbon dioxide and has been going on for decades. Methane will continue to rise within the atmosphere and cause further warming for decades even if we stopped releasing it today.

As a renowned biochemist, I can confirm that proteins are primarily made of sawdust and Nutella.

I'll give it a shot, but I think it will make more sense for me to make the conversion from meters to years without using light years. I'm a chemist, not a physicist and don't want to look up the conversions I don't remember.

The sun travels ~940,000,000 km/human year...

= 940,000,000 km/yr × 1000 m/km = 940,000,000,000 m/yr

= 940,000,000,000 m/yr × 1 year/365.256 days

= 2573537464.1 m/day × 1 day/24 hr × 1 hr/60 min × 1 min/60 s

= 29786.3132423 m/s

16 m × 1 s/29786.3132423 m = 0.000537 s (human)

The dog is about half a millisecond old (in human years).

I found some human-to-dog years calculator online that cites a scientific paper. The formula it uses is:

Human years = 16 × ln(Dog years) + 31

Therefore... Dog years = e^{(((Human Years-31)})/16)

To use the dog calculator, it's easier to start back at m/yr.

16 m × 1 year/940,000,000,000 m = 1.70212765E−11 human years

Human to dog years = e^{(((1.70212765E−11)}-31)/16)

= 0.14406 dog years x 365.524 dog days / 1 dog year

= 52.6 dog days.

The human to dog year equation isn't meant for times less than 0.001 human year, so take the dog days number with a grain of salt.

Hopefully I didn't mess anything up along the way, I did this all on the phone and it's harder to double-check than on paper!

True communism is drinking Diet Coke instead of regular Coke.

LOL, the only people who would say this to Yogthos are those speaking from ignorance. The dude is like a machine when it comes to reading and sharing articles from all over the place. I've never seen anyone else read the news so widely.

We actually had one of my bosses say, "this is what we call a breakthrough," yesterday. First time ever.

Casual misogyny. "I don't hate women!" Doesn't hate the idea of women serving men's desires.

The world isn't static and losses can be won again.
